We had an amazing day to enjoy the city of Porto by bike. Even last minute changes we had to make to the group was all handled very professionally and cooperative. The tour was a perfect match between interesting and beautiful Portugese history/architecture and fun biking. It is easy for people of all fitness. Mostly down hill/flat and maybe 1 medium hill going up. Traffic can be a bit chaotic but the tour guide manages it perfectly and safely! But probably the best part was Marta the tour guide. A super enthousiastic, smart and friendly tour guide that just made it an amazing and unforgettable experience. Thanks Marta 10/10.

This was one of the best tours me and my wife have ever taken during our travels around the world. Premiere Tours is by far the best guiding agency we ever hired, and Jorge Bras is the most knowledgeable guide, a true gentleman, always looking out for our wellbeing. Fatima and Sintra are truly two of the most wonderful places in the planet. The spirituality of Fatima and the mysticism of Sintra with its magical fairytale palaces, made the top on our favorite places in the world list. Even though we were in Portugal for only three days on a business trip, during the pandemic, we decided to contact Premiere Tours for ideas on a one day tour, and we are so pleased that we were advised to take this one. We recommend this highly professional guiding agency to everyone visit Portugal.

I booked the 7-day Camino Frances in November 2020 for travel in May this year but we cannot now make it due to the COVID pandemic: South Africans are being restricted world wide for travel. I was told that the booking included one "free date change". I advised them repeatedly that I needed to change the date, but no-one responds or acknowledges my notices. Yet whenever they are looking for bookings, they respond immediately - it seems that now that they have the deposit, it's a different story. Beginning to think I've been scammed.

We were a group of five people fron St Jaen Pied the Port to Pamplona and everything were easy for us. We had some problem with one of our collegue and they sent a taxi to pick her up. The hotels were in a good place and the food were great. The only thing that I suggest is to take breakfast early because in July the weather is very hot

We took the half day afternoon trip to Segovia 11/16/20. Everything was on time and smooth. We really didn’t need the guide as she gave very little information especially once we were in the town. We walked to the Alcazar and she gave us our tickets and said meet at the bus @6:30. It would’ve been nice to have a guide inside the castle but it was fine. Just FYI if you go in the winter it is much colder and windier in Segovia than Madrid!! Seems expensive just for the bus ride there.
